[1990-02-03-USWA-Championship Sports] Kerry Von Erich and The Soul Taker
Yeah, okay if he makes the mistake once to but to call Percy the wrong name again later was pretty bad. Found this promo to just be sad. It's Von Erich's birthday and he jokes he is still 19 which a weird thing for a 30 year old guy to say. He probably wishes he really was that age but I guess that is understandable for all the things that have happened over the years.

Flair tells Muta to bring his rickshaw. Who's writing this stuff? Jim Ross? Campy but fun segment.

[1990-02-03-USWA-Memphis TV] Dr Lawler
Great stuff. It is something else to see a wrestler rant about steroids on TV with them being such a part of the business. Lawler seems to have his own drug test machine which gets super fast results! Taste test line was pretty hilarious.

[1990-02-03-WWF-Superstars] Jake Roberts vs Ted DiBiase
Great to finally see this in full. Match was short with DiBiase squirming his way out of a couple DDT attempts. Slick is randomly out there which makes you know something is up. Boss Man makes an appearance and handcuffs Jake to the ropes and takes off the with the bag. Then we have Brother Love ready. I can only image DiBiase brainstorming this one beforehand. This all leads to Boss Man turning face which he realizes there was payoffs involved. He returns the bag to Jake with all the heels having fits. Really effective turn of Boss Man as fans get behind him real quick. Enjoyed this one.

[1990-02-02-NWA-Power Hour] Ric Flair vs Tom Zenk
I was baffled by Zenk's music until realizing it was from Batman. It was a good match but felt Flair gave Zenk way too much in this match. I know Flair isn't going to squash opponents but as World Champ and still face at this point thought the should have won more clean. Flair in some good chops. Nick Patrick did a good job being vocal when they were getting their shoulders up in some of the pinfall attempts.

[1990-01-31-NJPW] Jushin Liger vs Naoki Sano
First time for me seeing this one. Getting to see Sano the junior heavyweight was interesting. Liger smacking around Sano early only to get his ass handed to him after was impressive. Early on I was waiting for some of the flashing big moves to happen. But I got sucked by the violence Sano was unleashing with the mask ripping and busting up Liger's face. Liger would get brief spurts of offense but Sano would get things back in control in his favor. Don't think I've ever seen Liger dominated like this. Sano hits loads of different types of suplexes to try pin Liger. Can't say the guy didn't try his best and bust out the big moves. He can't put Liger away though and a reversal and big moves from Liger put him away. Liger is not happy after. Excellent match that closes January.

[1990-01-30-NJPW] Jushin Liger vs Owen Hart
Feel like I've seen better Liger/Owen matches. I like some of acrobatic reversals/moves early but agreed that the submission/mat work wasn't that appealing. Owen does a sharpshooter! Was Bret using that move by then? Disappointing match overall.

[1990-01-27-WWF-Saturday Night's Main Event] Hulk Hogan & Ultimate Warrior vs Mr Perfect & The Genius
I do enjoy Genius' poems. Picked up his poetry years ago. Definitely a one sided looking match that seemed to be the case early with Perfect bouncing all over the ring to every move he takes. Genius takes his lumps also. Finally the get Hogan in trouble with use of the scroll. Hennig is anything but perfect when he lets go of the Perfect Plex before the three count. That was really silly. It's Hogan and you don't make mistakes like that.

[1990-01-27-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] Midnight Express & Fabulous Freebirds vs Rock & Roll Express & Dynamic Dudes
Ending did seem to be botched. Douglas put himself in the wrong position to take the Alabama Jam and then move around to do so which looks bad when your pinning a guy. Then they take a while to get the pinfall with the ref counting but it being really obviously the Douglas' shoulders are not on the mat. We get a random camera cut to other action while the three count is finally made. Ending aside was a good match but behind other matches we have seen from WCW so far.

[1990-01-27-USWA-Memphis TV] Angry Jerry Lawler
So how pissed does Lawler get at his good friend Art Modell when he moves the Browns out of Cleveland? Lawler feeling like he doesn't get enough respect for having big time celebrities like Dangerfield as his good friends.
